OBSERVATIONS ONLY 
By Louis H. Ruge. 
From ox teams to electric railway 
trains is a stretch-beyond compari- 
son to striking contrast which the 
Connecticut farmer and the New 
Haven R. R. furnishes thé observer. 
The former typifies yankee conserva- 
tism, the other yankee progress. 
Throughout all history we are fur- 
nished with this picture of striking 
contrast between what is crude and 
cultured in civilization, what is stag- 
nant and what is progressive. 
—Oo— 
Body and brain may burn with all 
sorts of enthusiasm as I noticed in a 
man’s flushed face and _ incessant 
flow of words as for several hours 
one section of a parlor car was given 
over to discriptions and praises of 
the automobile. Books and maga- 
zines were closed in despair, con- 
versations impossible to others as 
long as this automobile fanatic had 
the floor. An otherwise pleasant 
trip was marred by the man with 
rubber tires and gasoline on the 
brain. 
—Oo— 
A child’s sweet face buried in the 
filthy depth of a dirty mop could 
not be a more disgusting thing, a 
more dangerous thing, than that of 
fondling a dog with its thousand and 
one pollutions. Animal pets versus 
the slaughter of the innocents. Civi- 
lization,— what a misnomer. 
—Oo— 
Odd hats and skirts for women are 
occupying the attention of the scrib- 
bling critic it seems to me, over- 
much. Is she, the fashion loving 
woman, not at liberty to wear what 
she pleases? Does she exercise the 
same impertinent criticism as to 
man’s apparel? 
—Oo— 
Work is now under way in the 
building of a Liverpool for the Am- 
erican Metropolis at Montauk Point, 
Long Island. The last barries be- 
tween Fort Pond Bay and the Gold- 
en Gate of the Pacific were removed 
when the P. R. R. completed its 
tunnels under two rivers and three 
cities. The last doubts as to the 
building of this great port of entry 
are removed in the amending of the 
River and Harbor bill for the pur- 
pose of an official survey of the port, 
and in the building of the world’s 
greatest postoffice in conjunction 
with the new Pennsylvania Terminal. 
Thus is Manhattan Island shaping its 
destiny in becoming the center of 
man’s universe.

The passing of Dr. Aked shows the 
futility of going far afield to fill the 
prominent pulpits in America. With 
all due respects to this English di- 
vine there are few people now who 
recall anything of more than usual 
note that he has said and done. May 
we hope more for Dr. Jowett and 
the Fifth Ave. Presbyterian church.

Combinations are on the increase 
until the church everywhere is unit- 
ing its power for concentrated and 
centralized work. Combinations are 
part of world progress. It is one 
more phase of the unfolding ages to 
be accepted and dealt with as far 
as human wisdom may. Their over- 
throw now is to turn back the hands 
of history’s dial.
